Are you interested in being part of an organization dedicated to preventing gender-based violence and empowering survivors? At Women Helping Women, we believe in the power of survivors to rebuild their lives and are committed to providing the support and resources they need to do so. We operate on the principle that survivors are the experts of their own lives, and our mission is to stand by them on their journey from immediate safety to long-term stability.

Our success is grounded in a comprehensive prevention approach that includes a five-day classroom-based program designed to equip students with the knowledge and resources needed to build healthy relationships in all areas of their lives. In addition, we provide community education and training for community partners on topics such as sexual assault, bystander intervention, sexual harassment, and domestic violence. Beyond the classroom, we also offer training for bar facilities and campus-based audiences, remaining actively engaged in efforts to create a world free from violence.

Join us in making a meaningful and lasting impact on individuals and the broader community.

We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Prevention Educator to deliver direct prevention education services to students in grades 7–12 while supporting survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and other forms of gender-based violence. This role provides classroom-based instruction on healthy relationship topics, including empathy, boundaries, consent, and bystander intervention, and delivers community education and training to community partners.

The Prevention Educator plays a vital role in advancing the organization’s mission through engaging, trauma-informed education and outreach.

As a Prevention Educator, you will serve as a frontline resource for survivors by empowering young adults through a five-day curriculum focused on gender-based topics and available resources. Through hands-on activities, you will advocate for students’ needs, encourage questions, and foster a safe, supportive environment that allows for disclosure. The role includes providing information and referrals to additional services, maintaining accurate client records, and participating in the evaluation of program policies and procedures.
